Burley is a special place  — home to some of the best teachers in the city and a unique, effective curriculum designed to educate the whole child. Every year the Burley School administration looks beyond their CPS-allocated budget for the resources to create a stable and thriving educational environment.  The Annual Fund’s carefully crafted goal is based on the actual needs of the school and has a suggested per-child ask of $700. Based on recent events, this year  this campaign's goal will include an initial one-year addition of $30,000 (for a total goal of $187,000) to cover initial Burley School recovery. In this year of increased need, we are asking families to consider giving more and giving early. Funds are actively being spent on Burley School recovery so it is imperative FOB makes progress towards its goals sooner than in a typical year.  

Thank you on behalf of all Burley students.
